I pulled the trigger today on a 2008 BMW 335i Conv.

Alpine White
Saddle Brown Interior
Navigation
Premium Package
Sport Package
Cold Weather Package
Comfort Access Package
Steptronic automatic Transmission
Paddle Shifters
iPod & USB Adapter

:D

Thank you all to the ones that helped me through the process. I was debating a pre-owned 2007 or a new 2008 328i. I settled on a CPO 2008 owned by someone who buys a couple a year from the dealership and doesn't keep them long. I'm pleased with my deal and I'm definitely pleased with the CPO warranty.

Sweet! Welcome. And do post some pics when you aren't: (a) sleeping (b) eating (c) using the restroom, or (d) driving. I suspect there will be time for pictures within the first 60 days :thumbup:

Interested to see what saddle (which I have on my sparkling graphite) looks like with alpine. I'm guessing it's a winner!

Congrats again!

I'll post some pictures in the next few days. I'm taking them a check tomorrow and they will have it cleaned and ready. I love the contrast in the Alpine/Saddle. I'm very excited!! Great weather to drive over the weekend as well!

stvroy,

Since you're in NC, I highly recommend trying out the "Tail of the Dragon," when the weather is nice. Here's a write-up I did of one of my adventures there, here on Bimmerfest a while back: http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/showthread.php?t=246140

..........that is the exact same car, color, interior etc that we ordered for my wife. We fly out to South Carolina June 10th to pick it up.

enjoy!

Welcome to the Family. As you will quickly learn we seem to have some unusual family values here.


Best regards,

I ended up getting Alpine White and Black Dakota, but I looked real hard at the Alpine White and Saddle combination. Very nice looking.

First of all I HATE YOU. Why? Because Alpine White is beautiful.

Second of all I HATE YOU even more. Why? Because the saddle is an amazing color and goes great with the Alpine White.

I've said it in other posts.........the saddle is unique. Every manufacturer makes black leather and gray leather.

Congrats!!

Welcome to the family! :thumbup:

Congrats...........white is officially the new black in BMWs. I would not have chosen saddle looking at specs - but after seeing it in person it works very well with the white. Rims are also very nice.

Sometimes we're a dysfunctional family.
Verrry nice car, but I gotta tell ya, every time I see an E93 with cold weather package, AND south of the Mason Dixon line, I LOL. Sort of like 4wd in Florida. Doesn't fit.

I usually abhor full side shots, preferring a front 3/4. But this shot of your car brings me back for second looks. Probably the only 90 series that looks this great from the side! The noon light, usually fatal for car pix, really does make this shot. Good job.
